Evidence for God from Science

So, you don't see a distinction. If there's none, then why did the Catholic Church change the translation of Theotokos from God bearer, to Mother of God?

sorry bud, above my paygrade. maybe Bybs can help. God bearer does seem a bit impersonal compared to mom.

Storyteller wrote: But Jesus was sinless, because He is God. rickD Yes. That's why Mary's sinlessness is not necessary. Mary's sinlessness is not in conjunction with God's. Mary's sinlessness was allowing God to remain who He is and not immerse Himself in sin ... the one thing in all the universe G...

story: But He did experience everything. As a human. Why would He leave out sin? before Christ was human He had to know of sin, why did the Father send him in the first place if not for the express condemnation of sin ? why would He have sent the Christ if He wasn't alrteady aware of sin and it's c...

story: Is it possible to hate something you do not know? God hates sin. Is it possible He knows sin through Mary? If only original sin? How can God know sin, how we feel if He doesnt somehow, experience it? Is it possible He knows sin through Mary? If only original sin? not imo, he took the possibi...

Simple Definition of bearer
: a person who bears or carries something

9 months of carrying God in her womb ... = "Mother of God" and "God bearer"

story: Are you saying because God is God, He couldn't have been borne to a sinful woman? That Mary was sinless because she bore God, or did God choose her because she was sinless? Are you saying because God is God, He couldn't have been borne to a sinful woman? ... yes That Mary was sinless because...

We've been discussing this subject, if you want to join the party. thanks rick, too tired to stay last night. here's what i wrote to you in the other thread. es: i hope you can see, imo Jesus is God, My Lord, My Savior, My Prince of Peace, my ...on and on, but...

take a look at this. a very small sampling of verse, if you think just because God is capable, and he has to work to your likings, not his own ... and you need bible verses to help you see this ... http://www.journal33.org/godworld/html/godhates.htm it is, imo, ridiculous to think God would give His...

rickd wrote: Not a valid comparison. The Doctrine of the Trinity is an explanation for the God of the bible. "Mother of God" is not a valid description of Mary. God doesn't have a mother nor father. Mother of our Lord is the proper term used in scripture. I hope you can see the difference...

Mary had to be sinless for Jesus to be sinless I never said this … your words. Jesus has never been in sin of any kind. I said Mary had to be sinless, in God's plan for the conception of the already and always sinless Christ, by the overshadowing of the Holy Spirit. God could have done this any way...

just curious, Rick, where in scripture is the term, "The Holy Trinity" used to describe our God? and does it's absence in the scriptures make it any less true ?

Yeah she didn't deserve to be the mother of Christ, it was a gift: i.e grace. so what is being said here, God chose Mary as the Mother of God, for his good reasons, but didn't find her deservng ? really, in any way ? how is it you know so well the mind and thoughts of God. I reason she was favored ...
